Exit Check 6.1 - Fields

6.1.2

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

• Yes, because they point from north to south.

• No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).

• Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.

• No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).

Answer explanation

This question links to success criteria 6.1.2: I can correctly draw simple gravitational and magnetic fields.

If you got it correct place a check mark in the question results section. If you got it incorrect place an X in that section. If this was a redemption question, cross out the one X and replace it with a check mark.

Which is the correct rule for what direction the arrows in gravitational fields always point?

• Arrows in a gravitational field drawing always point inwards, towards the large mass at the center.

• Arrows in a gravitational field drawing always point down, because gravity pulls down.

• Arrows in a gravitational field drawing always point outwards to show how rockets fly.

• There are no arrows in a gravitational field, they always fall to the ground.

A student claims that the magnetic force is not the same across the magnet. Using the picture, what evidence best supports the claim?

• The magnetic force of the magnet is strongest at both poles.

• The magnetic force of the magnet is strongest at the north pole.

• The magnetic force of the magnet is strongest at the south pole.

• The magnetic force of the magnet is strongest at the middle

6.1.3

A gravitational field for two nearby bodies is shown.  If a satellite arrives at location 1, it will move toward the one on the right? Why?

• It actually won't go right. It will move toward the object on the left because it has fewer lines. Fewer lines means it has a stronger gravitational pull.

• It will move to the object on the right because it is has field lines that are closer together meaning it has a weaker gravitational pull acting on it.

• It will move to the object on the right because it has field lines that are far apart. This means gravity has a stronger pull here.

• It will move to the object on the right because it is has field lines that are closer together meaning it has a stronger gravitational pull acting on it.

A magnet can hold a piece of paper to the door of a refrigerator. How does the magnet stick without touching the door?

• Magnets cannot hold paper, paper is not a metal.

• When touching a magnet, paper is also a magnet and can stick to the fridge.

• The magnetic field passes through the paper to interact with the metal of the fridge at a distance.

• The magnet cuts a hole in the paper and sticks to the fridge.

According to the field lines, how will these magnets move when released?

• The magnets will pull towards each other (attract)

• The magnets will push off each other (repel)

• The magnets will spin and make electricity.

• Nothing will happen because the field lines don't touch.

Based on the magnetic field line diagrams, what will happen next with these two sets of magnets?

• The magnets in Set 1 will repel, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract.

• The magnets in Set 1 will attract, and the magnets in Set 2 will repel.

• The magnets in Set 1 will not move, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract.
